Global energy markets ended the session with a softer tone as Brent crude is priced at 104.37 USD per barrel and WTI at 96.32 USD per barrel. Brent stood at 111.58 USD on the previous day, 109.55 USD seven days ago, and 102.49 USD thirty days ago; WTI stood at 102.33 USD on the previous day, 100.08 USD seven days ago, and 90.92 USD thirty days ago. The retreat in both benchmarks signals a cooler near term trajectory for crude and may influence refined product pricing in coming days.
Domestic regional prices are shown for two zones across six products with generally stable momentum from the prior update. Region 1 prices and Region 2 prices in VND per liter are as follows: Diesel oil 0.001S-V costs 31,640 VND/L in Region 1 and 32,270 VND/L in Region 2; Diesel oil 0.05S-II costs 30,240 VND/L in Region 1 and 30,840 VND/L in Region 2; Gasoline E5 RON 92-II costs 26,390 VND/L in Region 1 and 26,910 VND/L in Region 2; Kerosene 2-K costs 29,590 VND/L in Region 1 and 30,180 VND/L in Region 2 with a recorded change of -1,060; Gasoline E10 RON 95-III costs 24,150 VND/L in Region 1 and 24,630 VND/L in Region 2; Gasoline E10 RON 95-V costs 24,950 VND/L in Region 1 and 25,440 VND/L in Region 2. Unit is VND per liter.
Region 2 prices are higher across the board by roughly 480 to 630 VND per liter, reflecting distribution differences. The only price move noted is a decrease for kerosene 2-K by 1,060 VND per liter, while other products remained unchanged.
News highlights from the last 24 hours indicate a broad international selloff in oil prices with Brent slipping toward the mid 100s and WTI retreating as well. Domestic reports note two rounds of local price adjustments in recent sessions with a net easing influence on the market sentiment, although the domestic price structure remains largely stable in this update.
